''The Hearing Sciences, Third Edition'' addresses all the topics critical to understanding the hearing sciences: acoustics, basic instrumentation, anatomy and physiology of the auditory and vestibular systems, and psychoacoustics. The text is intended for undergraduate courses in hearing science and to augment the graduate AuD curriculum. The writing is straightforward and clear and each chapter includes an introduction, summary, and review questions. Clinical Correlate boxes engage the student by demonstrating the relationships between the hearing sciences and clinical audiology. Introductory and intermediate chapters are designed for undergraduate and graduate students who do not have a background in hearing science; a pre-requisite course in clinical audiology is not required. Intermediate and advanced chapters provide AuD students with a foundation for their studies in the hearing sciences. New to the Third Edition: *An updated art program with more illustrations and images *A new chapter on advanced vestibular anatomy and physiology, and thorough updates to the prior vestibular content *Continued attention to conveying information in a straightforward manner while reflecting the current state of research *Key concepts are bolded throughout for greater comprehension and accessibility *Review questions have been added to each chapter to assure students grasp and retain the information Instructor and student resources are available on a companion website, which contains interactive tutorials to review the content, additional review questions, useful links, and more.

Teri A. Hamill PhD is professor of audiology at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale Florida where she teaches AuD students. She has been a professor for nearly 25 years and also has worked clinically in a hospital setting. Dr. Hamill developed an interest in digital signal processing and instrumentation circa 1988 during her post-doctoral work with a company that created a (commercially unsuccessful) digital hearing aid. (The processor was the size of a cigarette pack.) She teaches courses in basic sciences research methodology and electrophysiology. Dr. Hamill provides content for including review tutorials for text chapters. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Lloyd L. Price PhD is professor emeritus of audiology from Florida State University. He taught for more than 30 years and was Dr. Hamill's professor during her doctoral studies at Florida State University. In addition his clinical background spanned more than nine years. Dr. Price drafted early versions of this text for use in his undergraduate classes and sought to present hearing science information in an interesting and straight-forward manner.
